I made this personalized luggage tag with Echino Decoro Fabric “Buck Turquoise” and Dear Stella “Honey Crisp/Twiggy Brown”. It was my first project with a button hole. My new sewing machine makes this a breeze! The button hole makes the perfect way to attach the ribbon.

I found a very helpful tutorial from Soubelles that includes step-by-step directions.

This print makes me giggle! I love this Buck in eyeglasses!

From FabricWorm.com, I found the most adorable print for my dog, Karma. I purchased a unit (1/2 yard) without a real plan for how I would use it. It has all of Karma’s mannerisms captured in the cartoon dogs in this modern playful print, so I knew I just had to have some! It’s by Michael Miller called “Dog Speak Multi”.

On sale last week at Target, I found a dog bed insert (poly filled) for less than $10.00. It’s from Target’s Boots & Barley line. Target sells many covers, but I ventured to make my own! The bed measures 36 inches by 29 inches, so I needed a complementary print to cover the entire face of the pet bed. I paired this designer fabric with a inexpensive light grey chevron print that I found at my local JoAnn store. I only needed 1/2 yard.

I also picked up a solid light grey fabric to use for the backside. Instead of a zipper, I used overlapping back pieces to hold in the insert. To finish each edge of the overlap, I used a “Loopy” decorative stitch.

I had some scrap fabric from a recent project called Stampin’ Up Tea for Two Fabric that I used to create a “K” on the bottom right of the dog bed. I used a decorative zig-zag stitch to tack it in place.

It was my first time to add applique like this – daring to wing it on my own but I think it worked beautifully!
